Publisher's Description of Wavepad 5.07

When you're a music lover you have probably thought to yourself at some point "what if I could edit my own tracks?".

In order to do so, you need an application with strong features that can be easily followed by both beginner and advanced users.

WavePad is an audio editing tool that comes with professional features which are presented in a very simple manner.

Installing the software also gives you access to optional features, such as the MixPad Multitrack, Express Burn CD Burner (to record the audio files onto CDs or DVDs), and Express Rip CD Ripper (to extract tracks from an audio CD into a digital audio file format).

The user interface is basic, and you have a few options on the right and top of the window.

Here you can view video tutorials (for which you need an internet connection because clicking them will redirect you to YouTube), as well as select the Files, Edit, and Effects menus.

WavePad supports all commonly used audio formats, so working with a particular one shouldn't be difficult.

Effects include working with an amplifier, normalizer, compressor, equalizer, multiple chain effect, and commands like reverse, fade, speed, cleanup, and voice.

Some of these are very awesome, like speed and pitch change, telephone effect, AM radio effect, text to speech, and others.

Audio processing takes a little time to apply changes, during which you can't work with other features of the software, but it's faster that many other similar products.

Once you're done playing with the tracks, save your progress by burning them on audio CDs and sharing them with your friends.

CPU and memory usage is noticeable, but that's to be expected with this type of software.

In conclusion, WavePad is a very interesting audio editor, and you should definitely give it a try.
